How are your brakes? You COULD have warped rotors. There's actually a number of things it could be. Have your mechanic check the front end out. Could be worn tie rod ends, ball joints, busted belt, cupped tires, wheel bearings, etc.

So wait, the vibration stayed even after having the rear tires put up front? Id rule out the wheels and tires then.

Brakes are fine. Had all new brakes put on when I got the car last September, Powerslot slotted rotors and ceramic pads. I'm gonna go in the morning and let him check it out. And yeah still got the vibration after the rears were put in the front.

If they were old stock the belts can separate fairly easily , this causes the Nasty wobble or vibration . I've had new tires do it a few times shit happens it really sucks tho when your young and not making much money . Tires ain't cheap now days shit my new rear tires cost me 675 :(

Never had any problems with people running Eagle GTs.. Except they dont last more than 30k, if that. Also of course they wont be amazing in the rain. No aggressive tire is going to be great in the rain man lol. Some get better than others but they start getting to be high $$$$


Does the vibration stop after a certain MPH? Said it starts after 50?

I put like close to 1500 miles on them since I got em. Theyre decent in the rain lol haha.It starts at like 51 and stays still mid 50s, anything lower or higher and theres nothing. My mechanic drove my car with me this morning and there was no vibration, its weird, its there and then its not..
